You better hurry. I think I heard Brent tell someone yesterday the earliest appointment date right now was the end of April.

Now that I have seen this I'm even more pumped about getting my seat redone. I shipped it last week, it should be sitting in their back room with 3/12 on the box....meaning it will get the treatment tomorrow.

I just need to wait for riding weather.....supposed to be below zero here tomorrow night.

Great idea. I use to be a mod of my forum but when they changed over to this new format they must have forgotten to put the feature back on for me but I have asked Terry1955 to make this a sticky.

They did a great job on my HD Sundowner Solo.
Cut it down, added Memory foam and a few black studs.
Now my feet sit flat on the ground when at a stop.

I've been meaning to post a pic of what the modified seat looks like on the bike:

That pretty cool. I went for a 90 mile ride today and my butt gets numb as well, How do you choose a seat with out test driving it?

Ranman - I don't have pics but can testify that my comfort stitch that Allen dropped for me is the most comfortable ride I can imagine. I can go for miles and miles without suffering from sore a$$. And, Allen added the triple decked to the misses position of the saddle. She too loves Allen's work. I'll never own a saddle that Allen hasn't modified, even if its a brand new bike. None of Harley's stock saddles can make this tired old a$$ comfortable for the rides I want to ride.
